From the Daily Camera (Boulder):  Recordings of closed sessions of the Boulder City Council will be kept at least through the end of 2022, five years after that executive session authority expires.

The council holds its first closed session ever on Monday.

At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, members adopted several new rules related to the conduct of those sessions. The council voted unanimously to keep executive session records until 2022, or longer if litigation is ongoing.

The proposed version of the measure said recordings of the meetings would be kept until the end of litigation plus 90 days. It also said the City Council would be notified before records were destroyed.

Councilman Tim Plass said Tuesday night that destroying the records so quickly would create a bad impression.

“There is the question of public perception,” he said. “We want to keep trust with the people who voted for this.”
